This Week in Elasticsearch - March 05, 2014

Welcome to This Week in Elasticsearch. In this roundup, we try to inform you about the latest and greatest changes in Elasticsearch. We cover what happened in the GitHub repositories, as well as many Elasticsearch events happening worldwide, and give you a small peek into the future of the project.

Where to find Us

We'd love to feature all the great Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana presentations and meetups happening worldwide in this section. If you're speaking or hosting a meetup, let our Community Manager, Leslie Hawthorn, know!

Germany

Alexander Reelsen and Luca Cavanna will share the stage at GOTO Berlin night on March 18th. They'll be talking all about Elasticsearch 1.0 and how to use the ELK stack (that's Elasticsearch + Logstash + Kibana) to create real-time dashboards. Doors open at 7 PM and registration is required via the GOTO Berlin site.

United States

Safe and sound following the recent Portlandia Snowpocalypse, Steve Mayzak's presentation to the Seattle Search and Machine Learning meetup group has been rescheduled for March 6th. Please join Steve starting at 7 PM to hear all about Elasticsearch 1.0.

Elasticsearch is proud to be a technology partner for Slashathon, a hackfest to create applications to connect musicians with their fans. Aaron Mildenstein will be on hand to answer any questions folks have about integrating Elasticsearch into their applications.

The Philadelphia Elasticsearch Meetup group has just been set up, and the organizers are figuring out the first meeting date. Join the meetup group to get regular updates.

Where to Find You

Our Community Manager, Leslie Hawthorn, is hard at work to help folks create more Elasticsearch meetup groups and to help meetup organizers find more speakers. If you are interested in either effort, take a moment to let her know.

Oh yeah, we're also hiring. If you'd like us to find you for employment purposes, just drop us a note. We care more about your skill set and passion for Elasticearch, Kibana and Logstash than where you rest your head.

Trainings

If you are interested in Elasticsearch training we have courses taught by our core developers coming up in:
